Duodenal Adenocarcinoma

e15797 Background: Duodenal adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor representing approximately 0.3% of all gastrointestinal tract cancers. Prognostic factors in relation to survival outcomes for these patients are sporadically reported in the medical literature. We aimed to evaluate outcomes of patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma who underwent pancreaticojejunostomy treated at Mayo Clinic Rochester from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2016. Methods: Clinicopathological data of 52 duodenal cancer patients were collected. JMP software was used for statistical analysis. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank tests were used for survival analysis, and multivariate cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the prognostic effect of pertinent clinical variables. All tests were two sided and a P value of < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The median age at diagnosis was 65.9 years (range 39-81). The median overall survival was 51 months (95% CI 31.3-105.4) and the median progression free survival was 30.4 months with median follow up of 73.4 months. There were 3, 9, 21, and 19 patients with stage I, II, III, and IV disease, respectively. Depth of tumor invasion (p = 0.0156) and lymph node metastasis (p = 0.0441) were associated with overall survival on multivariate analysis. Advanced clinical staging influenced overall survival in univariate analysis, but lost prognostic significance in multivariate analysis. Age, gender, surgical technique, presence of metastases, tumor size, number of lymph nodes removed, location of duodenal segment involvement, and adjuvant treatment had no significant impact on overall survival. Laparoscopic approach did not influence survival but was associated with less hospital days (p = 0.0437). Conclusions: Depth of tumor invasion and lymph node status were associated with improved overall survival in patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma. Laparoscopic procedure decreased the hospital stay without affecting outcomes.

Abstract Background The clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of axial chondroblastoma (ACB) are still poorly understood. Purpose To characterize clinicopathological characteristics in a large ACB cohort and investigate their correlation with survival. We also sought to compare these results with extra-axial CB (EACB). Methods Our institution's local database was retrospectively reviewed and included a total of 132 CB patients, including 61 ACB patients and 71 EACB patients. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the expression levels of Vimentin (Vim), S100, and cytokeratin (CK) on tumor cells in 132 tissue specimens. Results Overall, ACB and EACB had similar characteristics, except for older age and tumor size, as well as higher Vim expression, incidence of surrounding tissue invasion and postoperative sensory or motor dysfunction. Whereas wide resection and absence of invasion of surrounding tissues were consistently associated with favorable survival in the ACB and EACB cohorts in univariate analysis, most parameters showed differential prognostic significance between the 2 groups. Significant prognostic factors for local recurrence-free survival in multivariate analysis included the type of resection and chicken-wire calcification in the ACB cohort. Multivariate analysis of overall survival demonstrated that the type of resection was a significant predictor in the ACB cohort, whereas the type of resection and postoperative sensory or motor dysfunction were predictive of overall survival in the EACB group. Conclusion These data suggest that there may be distinct biological behaviors between ACB and EACB and may provide useful information to better understand the prognostic characteristics of patients with ACB and to improve outcome prediction in patients with ACB.

BackgroundTo evaluate the clinical risk factors that influence the overall survival in patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) after tumor resection.MethodsThis study retrospectively analyzed 188 patients who underwent tumor resection for DA between January 2005 and June 2020 at Xiangyang Central Hospital.ResultsThe median survival of the patients who underwent resectional operation was 54 months, longer than of those who underwent palliative surgery (20.8 months) (2,916.17; 95% CI, 916.3−9,280.5; p &lt; 0.001). Survival of non-ampullary duodenal carcinoma patients (50.3 months; 95% CI, 39.7−61.8) was similar to that of ampullary duodenal carcinoma patients (59.3 months; 95% CI, 38.6−66.7) but was significantly better than that of papillary adenocarcinoma patients (38.9 months; 95% CI, 29.8−54.8; p = 0.386). Those with intestinal-type ductal adenocarcinomas had a longer median overall survival than those with the gastric type (61.8 vs. 46.7 months; p &lt; 0.01) or pancreatic type (32.2 months; p &lt; 0.001). Clinical DA samples had significantly diverse expressions of ATG12, IRS2, and IGF2. Higher expressions of the ATG12 and IRS2 proteins were significantly correlated with worse survival. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that lymph node metastasis (hazard ratio (HR), 6.44; 95% CI, 3.68−11.27; p &lt; 0.0001), margin status (HR, 4.94; 95% CI, 2.85−8.54; p &lt; 0.0001), and high expression of ATG12 (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.17−3.06; p = 0.0099) were independent prognostic factors negatively associated with survival in patients undergoing curative resection. There was no survival difference between the groups with ampullary, non-ampullary, and papillary adenocarcinomas treated with adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.973).ConclusionGastric/pancreatic type, high expression of ATG12, lymph node metastases, and margin status were negative prognosticators of survival in patients with DAs than in those with tumor anatomical location. Curative resection is the best treatment option for appropriate patients.

Post Translational Modification

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Protein arginine deiminases (PADIs) are a family of enzymes that catalyse the post-translational modification of proteins. Association between PADI expression and clinicopathology, protein expression, and outcome was determined. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> PADI2 and PADI4 expression was assessed immunohistochemically in a cohort of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. <b><i>Results:</i></b> CRC tissues expressed variable levels of PADI2 which was mainly localised in the cytoplasm and correlated with patient survival (<i>p</i> = 0.005); high expression increased survival time from 43.5 to 67.6 months. Expression of cytoplasmic PADI2 correlated with the expression of nuclear β catenin, PADI4, and alpha-enolase. In contrast, expression of nuclear PADI2 correlated with a decrease in survival (<i>p</i> = 0.010), with high expression decreasing survival from 76.4 to 42.9 months. CRC tissues expressed variable levels of PADI4 in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Expression of cytoplasmic PADI4 correlated with survival (<i>p</i> = 0.001) with high expression increasing survival time from 48.1 to 71.8 months. Expression of cytoplasmic PADI4 correlated with expression of nuclear β catenin, alpha-enolase (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.0001, <i>p</i> = 0.002), and the apoptotic related protein, Bcl-2. Expression of nuclear PADI4 also correlated with survival (<i>p</i> = 0.011), with high expression of nuclear PADI4 increasing survival time from 55.4 to 74 months. Expression of nuclear PADI4 correlated with p53, alpha-enolase, and Bcl-2. Multivariate analysis showed that TNM stage, cytoplasmic PADI2, and PADI4 remained independent prognostic factors in CRC. Both PADI2 and PADI4 are good prognostic factors in CRC. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> High expression of cytoplasmic PADI2, PADI4, and nuclear PADI4 were associated with an increase in overall survival.

PurposeWe evaluated adjuvant trial E1694 to more precisely define the prognostic significance of serum S100B in patients with high-risk resected melanoma.Patients and MethodsSera from 670 E1694 patients banked at baseline and three additional time points were tested for S100B protein using chemiluminescence.ResultsS100B testing results showed that the higher the S100B level is, the higher the risk of relapse and death, regardless of the cutoff value. Univariate analysis showed that baseline S100B ≥ 0.15 μg/L is significantly correlated with overall survival (OS; P = .01). Multivariate analysis was performed adjusting for significant prognostic factors (ulceration and lymph node status) and treatment. Baseline S100B was a significant prognostic factor for survival (hazard ratio = 1.39; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.92; P = .043). S100B values measured at later time points over 1 year were also demonstrated to be significant prognostic factors for relapse-free survival (RFS) and OS. Lower S100B values at baseline and during follow-up were associated with longer survival. A changing S100B from low at baseline to high on follow-up seemed to be associated with the worst RFS and OS.ConclusionFor patients with high-risk surgically resected melanoma, a high baseline or increasing serum S100B is an independent prognostic marker of risk for mortality that may allow us to refine the application of adjuvant therapy in the future.

Aim: to examine prognostic significance of patient-related, tumor-related and treatment-related factors for intrathyroidal papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC), via multivariate analysis.Material and methods. This study included 153 patients with intrathyroidal PTCs (pT1/pT2/pT3) surgically treated in our Institution during two-decade period. Patients with locally invasive tumors (pT4) and initial distant metastases (M1) were excluded. Parameters of interest were: gender (male; female), age (<=45; >45 years), tumor size (pTNM classification WHO 1984), multifocality (no; yes), histological type of PTC (pure; microcarcinoma; follicular; poorly differentiated), presence of lymphonodal metastases (pN1a; ipsilateral-pN1b; contralateral-pN1b; total), surgery extent (total thyroidectomy; total thyroidectomy with lymphonodal dissections). Univariate and multivariate analysis of all parameters was performed in order to distinguish factors of significance for disease-free survival (DFS) and cancer-specific overall survival (cs-OS).Results. In the follow-up, 10% of patients had locoregional or distant relapse, while 5.2% died due to PTC. Univariate analysis distinguished older age, male gender, tumors over 4cm in diameter, multifocality and poorly differentiated PTC-types as unfavorable prognostic factors for cs-OS. DFS was significantly shorter in males vs. females, as well as in patients with multifocal vs. solitary PTC. Tumor multifocality was unfavorable prognostic factor for both DFS and cs-OS. Independent prognostic factors for intrathyroidal PTCs, based on Cox multivariate analysis, were multifocality and gender for DFS, and multifocality and age at diagnosis for cs-OS.Conclusions. Prognostic factors define risk groups within population of differentiated PTCs providing timely, adequate treatment and opportunity for longer quality life of patients with PTCs.

17557 Background: Natural Killer (NK) cell lymphoma is a group of increasingly recognized but poorly defined disease entities. This study investigated its clinical features and prognostic factors for southern China population. Methods: Patients with pathologically confirmed NK cell lymphoma in one center since 1999 to 2004 were included. Central histological and immunohistochemical review was undertaken to every case. The major study endpoint was overall survival. Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Detailed clinical, pathological and laboratory data were included in univariate analysis and statistically significant factors in univariate analysis were then included in multivariate analysis. Results: Totally 64 eligible patients were identified. Of these, 59 patients were extranodal NK cell lymphoma nasal type, 3 patients were aggressive NK cell lymphoma and 2 patients were blastic NK cell lymphoma. From the basic analysis, 47% of the patients had stage I disease, 42% were stage II, 11% were stage III or IV. B-symptoms were present in 39%. 73% of these patients had International Prognostic Index (IPI) 0 or 1. Before treatment, 25% complicated with anemia. As to the therapy, 38% received chemotherapy alone, 3% received radiotherapy alone and 59% received a multidisciplinary therapy. After initial therapy, 59% achieved CR, 22% achieved PR and 19% were refractory disease. With a median follow-up duration of 20 months, the median overall survival was 28 months (95% CI: 10, 45). Hb lower than 110 g/l before treatment was statistically significant in multivariate analysis (p = 0.031). Presenting B-symptoms and ECOG PS score higher than 1 were also independent prognostic factors (P = 0.001 and 0.006 respectively). Conclusions: The outcome of patients with NK cell lymphoma was poor even for Stage I or II cases. Our data suggested Hemoglobin < 110 g/l had more prognostic value than IPI and Ann Arbor staging system for NK cell lymphoma in southern China, but it needs further confirmation.

4133 Background: Cholangiocarcinoma remains an orphan disease for which prospective studies are missing to evaluate the impact of systemic chemotherapy on survival. Methods: Univariate and multivariate analysis of parameters that might impact survival were analyzed in a cohort of 242 consecutive patients with cholangiocarcinoma treated in a single institution between 2000 and 2004. Variables were WHO performance status (PS), age, symptoms, tumor size, extent of the disease, lymph node involvement, site of metastasis, tumor markers, pathology, and type of treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Results: Statistically significant prognostic factors of survival in univariate analysis are displayed in the table : In multivariate analysis, PS, tumor size and surgery were independent prognostic factors. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that in patients with advanced diseases (lymph node involvement, peritoneal carcinomatosis and/or distant metastasis), patients who had no surgery benefited of chemotherapy (median survival 13.1 versus 7.4 months in patients with/without chemotherapy, p = 0.006). Moreover, survival was further improved when patients could benefit of chemotherapy following total and/or partial resection (median survival 22.9 versus 13.0 months in patients with/without chemotherapy, p = 0.03). Conclusions: This study strongly suggests the positive impact on survival of multimodality approaches including surgery and chemotherapy in patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma.

Tumor Extension

Context Lymph node status and the number of lymph node (LN) positive for cancer cells are the most important prognostic factors in breast cancer. Extranodal tumor extension (ENTE) has been used as a histopathologic feature to classify patients into high risk versus low risk for local recurrence. However, in the current era of early detection and systemic therapy, the prognostic significance of ENTE is not as well defined in patients with 1 to 3 LNs positive for cancer. Objective To determine whether the amount of tumor burden in an axillary dissection or the presence of ENTE provides any additional information regarding patient outcome in patents with 1 to 3 positive LN results. Design Clinical and pathologic factors were identified for 456 patients with breast cancer at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, who had pT1 tumors and 1 to 3 LNs positive for cancer and were treated by mastectomy, with or without postmastectomy radiotherapy, between 1978 and 2007. Results Of the 456 patients, 257 (56.4%), 141 (31.6%), and 58 (12.7%) patients had 1, 2, or 3 positive LN results, respectively. Extranodal tumor extension was present in 99 patients (21.7%) and was absent in the remaining 357 cases (78.3%). Seventy-six patients (16.7%) received radiation therapy. Patients had both worse overall survival time and disease-free survival when ENTE was present, regardless of the amount, as long as the treatment era was not included in the multivariate analysis (pre-2000 versus post-2000). However, ENTE was no longer significant on multivariate analysis when the year of treatment was taken into account. Conclusions The number of positive LNs remains an important predictor of survival in patients with 1 to 3 positive LN results, but the prognostic significance of ENTE in this cohort of patients has diminished over time.

A retrospective evaluation of prognostic factors in 55 patients suffering from metastatic gestational trophoblastic disease (MGTD) treated by modified Bagshawe's CHAMOCA regimen was done. The prognostic significance of the eight prognostic factors in the WHO scoring system, number of sites of metastasis and FIGO staging were evaluated by univariate analysis using Chi-square test with Yates' correction and odds ratio and by multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazard analysis and logistic regression analysis. In the univariate analysis, the intervals between antecedent pregnancy and the diagnosis of GTD, (P= 0.004) the level of hCG (P= 0.02) and the number of metastatic sites (P= 0.046) were significantly associated with death. In the multivariate analysis, only the interval between the antecedent pregnancy and the diagnosis and the level of hCG were significantly associated with death. Thus, it seems that the interval between antecedant pregnancy and the diagnosis and the level of hCG were the two most significant factors in predicting mortality in high risk MGTD. The WHO staging was more predictive of poor outcome than that of the FIGO staging in this group of patients.

Abstract Background Pulmonary large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a rare and highly invasive subtype of lung cancer that accounts for fewer than 3% of cases. The prognostic factors for pulmonary LCNEC are unclear in the literature. Methods Patients diagnosed with pulmonary LCNEC between 2004 and 2015 were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The CumIncidence function was used for the univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using Cox regression analysis, subdistribution hazard function analysis, and cause-specific hazard function analysis. Results We finally screened 1246 patients diagnosed with pulmonary LCNEC, among whom 796 died of LCNEC and 141 died from other causes. The univariate analysis showed that sex, primary site, laterality, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage, T stage, N stage, M stage, lymph-node status, surgery, and chemotherapy were significant prognostic factors for pulmonary LCNEC (P<0.05). The multivariate analysis demonstrated that sex, AJCC stage, TNM stage T4, TNM stage N3, lymph-node status, surgery, and chemotherapy were independent risk factors for the prognosis (P<0.05). Conclusion We have conducted a competing-risks analysis of patients with pulmonary LCNEC in the SEER database. The results showed that sex, AJCC stage, TNM stage T4, TNM stage N3, lymph-node status, surgery, and chemotherapy are independent prognostic factors for pulmonary LCNEC patients. The reported data represent reference information that can be used for accurate assessments of the prognosis of pulmonary LCNEC patients.
